Lewis Melique an inhabitant of this place presents a Petition setting forth the c °J ah Safl fir
abuses and insolencys of Cojah Saffur an Armenian, also an inhabitant here, who eonfind &
hath for some years past lived at S'. Thomas's Great Mount, where he hath im- wh y-
pudently assum'd a power to himselfe as if he was Hovildar there, in so much that
in a Controversy between the said Lewis Melique & Antonio Soares about a peice
of ground the said Saffur concernd himself so farr, tho' not belonging to him that he
threatend to beat the said Lewis Melique and send him a prisoner to the Catwall of
S\ Thoma which he had certainly done had not the said Lewis Melique made his
escape.

On which the Govern r . sent for the said Saffur yesterday, who appeard before
us this day, and the matter being putt close to him, did stiffly deny everything,
notwithstanding the evidence that was brought against him, and it being well known
that the said Saffur has been an insolent troublesome fellow to all the .English in
Generall who have resorted to the Mount for their health, of which there has been
several instances too many to be innumerated here.

And that there is cause to believe that the said Cojah Saffur with others of
his Nation intend to associate and form themselves into a Factory at the Mount, and
make S' Thoma their port, as appears by their having in the late Govern r . Pitt's
time, bought and built several! houses there, which they ought not to have done
without leave of the Govern'. & Council, and that they intended to build a Gate at
the end of the Lane and stop up all avenues, from all others having any entrance
there but themselves, to prevent which growing evil, it's thought expedient to pull
up that insolent weed of ill humour by the root.

Agreed and orderd that the said Cojah Saffur be confin'd to the Fort untill he
give security of Pag s 5000 for his forthcoming and good behaviour for the future,
for which none of his own Nation would engage for him, and therefore was com-
mitted.

Antonio Soares De Algaveria an ancient inhabitant of this place, this day preferr'd p °^* eze
a petition of complaint against Lewis Melique about a peice of ground at the Mount referr'd to
of 24 fas - purchase, the decision of which is referr'd to the Justices of the Choultry. f e t h e u8tioe8

That yo 1 '. Petition 1 ' since his arrivall here not finding the place to agree with
his Constitution and having an opportunity at this time of going to Bengal], where
he hopes he may be of the same service to the Hon ble Company, humbly desires

GOVERN*. OF EoRT S 1 '. GEORGE &C a . COUNCIL.

We humbly intreat yo r . Hon r . &c a . Council to call to mind with how great
readyness & fidelity the Missionarvs of the Theatine order have had the honour to
serve the R* Hon ble . East India Company for sixteen years last past, our first Vicar
of Cuddalore Den John Clarici dyed there, and by his behaviour, gave such a
generall satisfaction that Don William della Valie was by a Patent immediately
appointed his Successor (in Guvern r . Higginson's time) & tho' by misfortunes not
unknown to yo 1 '. Hon r . &c a . Council, we have been dispossess'd of the Churches for
several! years, yet our zeal has been ever the same to serve you, for when we came
to Maclrass eight years agoe, his Hon r . Pitt had sent to the Bishop of S 4 . Thoma with
large offers of gratitude to oblige any of the Clergy to goe for the Company's service
to Bencoolen, but none would accept of it, that place lying under ho bad a Character,
as to terrifye all others from accepting the advantagious offers his Hon r . Pitt was
pleas'd publickly to annex to that employment, however being animated with the
same principle we. ever profess'd, in that conjuncture of necessity we offerd his Hon r .
Pitt to send Don Joseph Martelli there, notwithstanding he was designed for another
mission, upon which his Hon r . promisd the Churches of Cuddalore and Tevenapatam
to our Order, the Year following Govern 1 '. Watts sent for another of our order for
Bantall, upon which advice we sent suddenly for Don Michaell Castelli who is now
actually there, and since the death of Don Joseph Martelli he writes us continually
for a Companion to supply his place, the which we have acquainted our Superiour
with, and expect Missionarys in May next, Now in Consideration of our earnest
endeavours to serve the R*. Hon ble . East India Company, and the great expences we
have been at, in sending to Goa for Missionarys for Bencoolen, We humbly beg of
yo 1 '. Hon 1 '. &c\ Councils goodness, & Justice to re Establish our order in the Churches
of Cuddalore & Tevenapatam that so we may have some subsistance to live upon the
better to employ ourselves on all occasions to merit yo 1 '. Hon 1 ' &c a . Councils favour as

graphs of the Hon ble . Managers letter, relating to the great demorage arising to the
ships detained in the Country, compared with the freight they earn in being lett

S'. David, dated 28 th . inst' ; and another from M r . R a worth, as also a particular letter
from Cap'. Peacock to the President, which said Letter having read he found matter
enough contained therein to summon the Council to meet immediately, when being
all mett, their Generall letter was read, as was likewise M r . Raworth's directed to us,
all which letters were of the same date and to the same purport, advising the ship
Somcrs to have been full laden that day, they likewise advise of their great fears, and
apprehensions they have of the St. Male's ships at Pondichery, of their having some
ill design in agitation against the Vomers for which reason they think it not advise-
able to dispatch her th6 full laden, and therefore doe earnestly desire our orders and
directions in that matter, which said letters are enterd in our Copv book of letters
red*. N°. Hi 16 & 17.

The President propounding to the Council what they thought might be the best
ways and means to be used to prevent the Somers being in danger of the French,
upoii the whole we come to this following resolution that a letter should be devisd
as frtm Bengali advising the great troubles the English were in there, by reason of
tie Country government stopping their goods from coming down the river, which
occaeiond a warm skirmish in which a great many Moors were kiU'd and some English,
and that the Council there thought the Companys affairs in great danger, and forth-
with desired our utmost assistance, as also te write the Dep ty . Govern r . &c a . Council

to agree with him on further time according to a new Chavterparty, that he might be
unladen and sent to Bengali, with the intent that the same might be industriously
diffused and spread abroad, in hopes it might occasion the French ships departure the
sooner thence, who had laine full loaden for some days, It was also
should write our joynt letter to Dep ty . Gov r . Mountague, M r . Eaworth

might hasten the dispatch of the French.

The President acquaints the Council that there were some Mereh*
mind to buy one of the Comp as . Elephants that were designdfor the present and there Compaq
being no opportunity of sending them to the King, Agreed that the said Elephant be ^ lie left

The Petition of the Ministers and Church wardens of the Parish of S T . Marys

in Fort S T . George

Humbly represented

That whereas the monuments of the dead, and the ground where they are
interrd are held by most people in some measure sacred, and not lightly apply'd to
anv common or prophane use, yet it is our misfortune that the English burying place
in Fort S c . George (where so many of our relations, freinds and acquaintance lye
bury'd) is' not only not kept in that decent and due manner it ought to be, but every
day prophan'd and apply'd to the most Vile and undecent uses, for since the year
1701, when an old building that stood in the burying place (and in which the
Buffalos us'd to be set up) was taken down to build lodgings for the Soldiers at the
gate adjovning, the Tombs have been made use of for stables for the Buffalo's

Diary and Consultation Book, 1710 21

-FORT ST. GEORGE, FEBRUARY 1709-10 —

■which is not only a thing very uudecent, but also a very great damage to those build-
ings, by having so many stakes drove into the pavement and into the walls to fasten
the Buffaloes to.

Another occasion of our complaint ou this Subject is the Coeoenut trees standing
in the burying place, the profit arising from them we know is inconsiderable, but
the Dusance accruing to the place thereby we are sure is very great, for the Toddy
men have people employ'd there all the day, and almost all the night in drawing
& selling of Toddy so that we are oblig'd on their acco M . to keep the Gates always
open, both by day and by night . And there about eight a clock at night after work
is done, is such a resort of basket makers, the Scavengers people that look after the
Buffaloes and other Parriars to drink Toddy, that all the Punch houses in Madrass
have not half the noise in them, And by reason of the gates lying open, beggars and
other Yagabonds (who know not where to goe) make use of the tombs to lye in.
And what unclean uses the Neighbours thereabouts doe make of that place we for-
bear to tell. We hope, what is here urged, together with the reflection it must cast
on our Church and Nation to have so little regard to the repositorys of our dead,
when all other Nations who live among us have so just a regard to theirs, will prevail
with your Hon r . &c a . to take this matter into yo r . consideration, and to find out some
method to redress these abuses And yo r . Petition 18 , as in Duty bound shall &c a .

To the Gentlemen of Council

S rs .

In perusing of the Generall letter of the 9 th of Jan ry . [last] from Vizagapatam
they advise a scarcity of rice there, and that they are forced to sell their ornaments
and little gold jewels, I am of opinion to send' 150 or 200 bags of rice on the
Eising Sun smack which the Master says he can easily take on board, which if we
doe not send, our Soldiers &c\ people there, may be brought to great straits and so
become useless.

Humbly Sheweth

That yo r . Pet r . was the first person that contrivd to doe the Custom of the
beetle and Areck, they paid for the said Custom 8000 Pag s . for three years, each
year, for which they had a Commission to doe, and two years after paid 7000 Pag*,
for each year but they made no agreement, & after making up the acco ts . for these
5 years they found by the ballanee that they were indebted tc the R 4 . Hon Wo .
Comp a . 2500 Pag\ so made a new agreement for 5 years more at 7500 Pag s . ty
year and the said sum they obligd themselves to pay Vizt monthly of the old debt
Pa. 41 : • ? 4 fa - till such time all paid, Narso was orderd yo r . Pet rs . master by Serapa

28 Record* of Fort St. George

-FORT ST. GEORGE, MARCH 1709-10-

notwithstauding the said Vincatty Putty was Narso's partner, the said ISTarso took
out of the joynt stock about 3000 Pag s . in his own name and Surapa's, but whether
Serapa had the money the s d . ISTarso took in his name yo r . Pet r . cannot tell, ISTarso
took away the money so fast and often that none was left in the joynt stock, all this
was done without yo r ' Pet rB - consent, & that they were often obligd to borrow money
at 6 or 7 ^ Cent interest, and so they doe now, which is the reason they are oblig'd
to take what goods they could gett, which sometimes proved very bad because they
had not ready money to buy, once yo r - Petition 1 ^ told ISTarso that he did not doe well
to take away the money so as he did at which ISTarso fell into a great passion, and
said to him dont you know that those which speak against me and Serapa are put in
the goal, and there rots, & if yo r - Pet r - dont take care he will be put there too, thus
be was threatend for speaking for the Companys interest, ISTarso sometimes sent notes
for money to the Grodown, which notes Juggapa carry'd to Grov r Pitt & the said
Grov r - Pitt also promisd that what money they took out of the Joynt stock that he
would see him the interest paid again, yo r - Pet r - prays that those who took the
money out of the joynt stock may be caused to pay according as they took out with
the interest as they owe that they may pay the Company, and if any overplus be
after let it be equally divided amongst the partners to each man his share, and
implores that you'l grant him his request.

And he shall ever pray & ca .

Humbly Seweth

That formerly yo r - Pet r - &c\ farm''d the Tobacco & beetle for 3 years, but lost by it
above 4000 Pag s . , because Vincatty Putty one of the partners, perswaded yo r - Pet r - to
advance money and venture on the farm & offer'd himself to put in an equal share,
which he did not and hinderd the partners from paying theirs, th6 yo r - Pet 1 ' put in 300
Pag 8 , and was forced to borrow money to pay the Companys debt, and at last owed
Pag s . 2500, which being not able to pay, desird the Govern 1, . &c a . to grant it for five
years more, that so might be able to pay, which they did at 7C00 Pag s *ffi ann. &
promis'd yo 1 '. Petn r . &c a . at their request they would give a Cowle that they should
receive | fan m . for a bundle of beetle whether Country or town, because it used to be
| fan m . for country & \ fan 11 ", for town beetle, but lately little came out of the Country
and a great deal grows in town, but this Cowle was not granted for two years, in which
time paid 14000 Pag s . and lost by the farm because Tobacco was dear, then the
Company granted the beforesaid Cowle for 5 years, when bid Vincatty Putty bring
400 Pag s . for his share, but he did not, so was forced to borrow money to pay the
Company monthly Pag s . 583 : 12 — and in part of the old debt Pag s . 41 : 24 : — and then
for 6 months when the divisions were between the Casts there was no body to buy any
here, besides Tobacco used to be bought from 6 to 8 Pag s . ^ Can[ y .], but now from
10 to 15, and when-y e . Pet T . goes to borrow money to pay the Company monthly,
Vincatty Putty hinders people from lending, and sometimes says he will lay the
far[m] down, & if there's any gain he comes in for his share, but if any loss then he is
not concernd, now he has rec a . for 9 years past a great deal out of the farm, & says
if yo r . Pet r . will give him something he will goe to Rammesore, or else he will bring
troubles on yo r . Pet r . ; if he has a mind to lay down let him pay what money he has
rec d . out of the farm with interest and then yo r * Pet r . will be able to clear the
Companys debt and to manage the whole farm, Tis reported that the farm is going
to be given to others but yo r . Pet r . ought to have 12 mo 8 , longer, or if any body will
pay the Comp as . &c\ debts let them take the farm free but yo r . Pet r . finds all the
foregoing is done by the malice of Vincatty Putty, so desire yo r . Hon. &c a . will
continue the farm to yo r . Pet r . according to Cowle.

And yo T . Pef. shall ever pray &c a .

the great troubles they have had with Fuckerla Cawae by their having been so

remedy of which they advise us that they resolved to make proposals to accoma-
dale matters in a freindly way with him intending him a present of 5030 Eup s . in
Europe goods, in order to which they sent a Portugueze Padre & a Dubash, in
hopes thereby to appease him, or obtain his patience for some days, but he refused
their offer & sent back the Messengers in a very angry manner, and wrote the

the place, or prepare to light,

We having freighted of yo r . Hon r . &e a . Ship Hallifax Cap*. Henry Hudson
Command r . for a voyage to Canton in China under the terms then agreed on, but
there being some more very necessary to be added for the security of the R\ Hon ble .
Comp as . ship and the estates of the GentleuTen of this place loaded upou her, we
humbly beg leave to represent the same to you, not doubting your ready comply-
ance thereto, as being so very reasonable.

First The aforesaid ship Hallifax Charterparty time expiring before 'tis pos-
sible for us to return again to this port, when the Command 1 ', may if he pleases goe
for England with the ship, we therefore desire that himself & Officers Enter into an
Obligation with yo r . Hon r . &c a . to perform the Vogage, and that strict orders be
given them not to exceed their priviledge granted them by the R'. Hon ble . Comp a .

The French hourly expect severall ships from Europe and not knowing but that
some of them may goe to the streights of Malacca, there to cruize for our returniug
ships, so for the better security of the ship, we humbly desire yo r . Hon r . &c a . to
spare us twelve Topaz soldiers who may be of service to us, and as this favour
has been granted to others, we hope t'will not be deny'd us, further requesting that
in case our Supra Cargoes should at Malacca have certain advices that there is in
those streights French ships to intercept them, they may be permitted if they think
convenient to goe by way of Batavia for the better security of ship & Cargoe.

It having always been the Custom here for the R*. Hon ble . Coinp" 8 . ships to
take pylots when they goe thro the streights of Malacca, we accordingly engag'd
Cap'. Walton to goe, who firmly agreed with us, but Cap*. Cockroft since wanting

-FORT ST. GEORGE, MAY 1710

From Zoudee Cawne, Amenv and Phousdar of Hugly and other Sea ports

UNDER THE SuBA OF BENGALL, AS ALSO OP ORIXA MeTOHLEPATAM, PeDDEPOLLEE,
ChINNAPATAM, S t . ThOMA, PdLLIOAT, ChIECICULL &C a . tJNDER THE SuBA OP GOLCONDAH

rec d . May 16™. 1710.

I lately wrote yo r . Hon r . by your peons that the King had granted me the
abovementiond Aineny & Phousdavship and therefore I have appointed Mirza Maho-
raud Zamau son in Law of Alouda beeg, & Mahomud Salaubeeg Dep tya . under me for
Met chlepa tarn & Peddepollee, & my friend Aga Mookeem Dep ty . at Chinnapatam, S\
Thoma, Pullieat & Chiccacull, and have sent-them their Commissions with a Copy
of mine attested by the Codjee at Court.

As there's a great freindship between us and you have often inform'd me that
' twas yo 1 '. opinion that if all the Sea ports under the Kings dominions were under an
Admirall (as a Company) he might settle the sea affairs, destroy the Pyrats, inrich
the Seaports, & encourage the Merchants to come and depart, which will encrease
their profit and youdesird me to use my utmost endeavours to obtain this, which I
have done, and on account of our freindship have undertaken this great buisness my
self and if it happens otherwise, the discredit will be the same to us both, for I
have no other hopes then the safety of all subjects, the security of ships & Merch ts .
going or coming by sea, the extirpation of Pyrates, and the enrichment of the
Kings sea ports, so yo r . Hon r . must use your endeavours in this matter likewise,
and advise all yo 1 '. Gomostas & Merchants every where to trade freely without
suspicion of any danger and augment their trade.

I want yo r . advice if you think it proper to send some of the Kings ships to
bring Elephants from the other Coast.

The King has orderd me to build a Fort at Ballasore and enrich yo r . Factory.
After I arrive at Hugly I will observe how affairs are manag'd, and advise
yo r . Hon r .

And now I must desire you to think of means how things may be best carry'd
on for the Kings advantage and your Companys, [that] so all persons may live
happy and serve their Maker, for I have neglected other buisness, and undertaken
this on your account in hopes to get a great name by it and within 5, 6 or 12 months
time if 'tis your request that I should take in the other Sea ports as also Surat, I can
procure it, and we must endeavour to promote both our fames, for if we agree we
can conquer the whole world and clear the seas of all dangers for the Merchants,

Doubtless you have assisted Mulla Abdull Fuzzil on his going to Pegue, for
whom have procured a Phirmaund, which I will forward to you as soon as I arrive
at Eugly, if he is already gone, but if he is still with you, I will send for him here
to goe on a Companys ship, and when yo r . ships sail thither advise him of what I
now write you.

As to the present I have wrote you lately to send it to Bengali according to the
Kings order which be sure you doe, for 'tis very Decessary that you send a present,
and when I come to Hugly I will advise you of all other matters, and you should
send a Va[ck]eel to be with me, which if you approve of you may send such a one as
Cojah Hamud or Surapa, or else write your people at Calcutta to send one, for I
shall want him on severall occasions I heartily wish you all health and prosperity.

Peom Nowaejee at Aecot eec b . 19 th May 1710

I arrivd at Arcot the 3 d . inst'. and wonder yo r . Hon r . has not since wrote me a
freindly letter thereupon, but hope you will for the future till we meet.

I have before sent Nabob Bowed Cawues perwanna to you to deliver up
Trivitore &c a . villages under y e . Pollimullee government, and wonder you han't acted
according to it, but still keep possession, I esteemd you a well wisher to his Highness,
for you know very well these Villages belong to Cawne Bahawdir so I have ordercl
the old Villages to be seizd too, so you ought to deliver the villages to the Manger
of Pulli mul lee, I always wish you well, what can I say more.

To Nowaejee at Aecot May 22 b . 1710

I rec a . yours the 19 th . instant wherein you say you wonder I have not wrote
you a freindly letter since you came to Aroott at which place you arrivd the 3 d .
instant, I understand what you mean by a freindly letter, but you have not begun
fairly with me to demand those new Villages which the Nabobs faith and honour by
his Perwanna gave and confirm'd to me, untill Yeavellapas very urgent solicitations
and importunitys prevaild with the Nabob to revoke his former grants, and what you
say that they belong to his Highness Cawne Bahaudirs Jaggeir in the Pullimullee
government, it may be true, but it is likewise true that the Nabob Dowed Cawne
gave an equivolent for them to Cawne Bahawdir, and you know likewise that what
those Villages yeilded yearly we almost gave away as esteeming the honour of the
Nabobs freindship much more then the profit they yeilded.

But you goe further and demand the old villages given & confirm'd to my
Predecessors and his Successors by the then Prince Cawne Bux, Assid Cawne &
Zulphaker Cawne, which matters doe no ways concern you to meddle with, at a time
when I have been honourd with severall of his Highnesses Cawne Bahaudirs kind

Diary and Consultation Book, 1710 51

letters from Court, I have wrote the Nabob Dowed Cawne and wait his answer,
which when I have you shall know till when doe you preserve and keep all manner
of good freindship with me, which will approve you to be a wise man on which
condition I shall be your freind, this is enough and shall say no more.

From Duan Sadatulla Cawne rec*. May 23 d . 1710

The occasion of my writing this is, because you still keep possession of Trutore
&c a . Villages in the Trippasore government, which are in Cawne Bahaudirs Jaggeir,
in which you doe not well, so you must deliver them to Yeavellapa the Manager of
Pullirnullee who will encourage the inhabitants and pay us our money, Nabob
Dowed Cawne some time agoe did send you his Perwanna about this buisness,
according to which you should act.

As for the four old Villages we have receivd Cawne Bahawdirs order to seize
them, which you must also deliver to the said Yeavellapa, what can I say more.

To Duan Sadatulla Cawne health

Fort St. George May 25th 1710.

About some three days agoe a Servant of yours by name Muzzadeen brought me
a letter said to be from you, which I gave my Braminy to be translated at which
time 1 desired y c . servant to goe and rest himself after his journey untdl I ha[dl
given answer to said letter, when he insolently and very pert[ly] as void of all
manners, and respect, insisted on the delivering [[of] the villages else he would carry
back your letter which he [did] I told him my buisness was not with him but with
his Mast[er] your self.

But supposing the purport of said letter was to demand back the new Villages
because they belong to Cawne Bahaudi[rs] Jaggeer which may be true, but you
cannot but at the same time know that my noble great freind the late Da wed Cawne
gave an equivolent out of his own Jaggeir to the great Cawne Bahaudir which makes
that matter even, and thus farr I am in the right and you likewise know that I gave
away more then those Villages brought in, so that the English here lived in all
freindly trauquiility with the late Nabob, until Yeavellapa that plague of the poor
and Coclfatrice of all venom, when at Cuddapa never let the Nabob be quiet till he
had gaind his point to revoke the several! former as well as late Perwannas which
confirmd those Villages to our Company, so that one Perwanna is not sufficient to
take away the force and power of all our former grants, under the Nabobs Signature
and great Chop, by which you would make the promise, faith, and truth of a great
man of no more value then that of an ordinary man, which is a great derogation to
the honour of a great Personage.

Yeavellapah deals trecherously with Madrass a place he is so much beholden to,
where he stores up so much paddy and grain to await a scarce and dear season to
increase the misery of the poor, and borrows large sums of money at the same time
to enable him to pay his rent at the time clue, else he must have been necessitated to
sell at the Market price which would be cheap.

As for the four old Villages they were granted and confirmed to us about
twenty years agoe by the then Prince Cawne Bux, the great Assid Cawne, and the
then Zulpaker Cawne, now Cawne Bahaudir under their severall and respective
larger seals.

My freindly council and advice to yon is that you wou'd consider and value the
English as being the KiDgs freinds and in his favour, as may appear by his Koyall
Hosbullhookum from the Throne to my late Predecessor, and that you would keep
the Kings peace by not committing any manner of hostility, I hopo you will doe
nothing misbecoming so wise a man as yourself in so great a Post and place of trust,
and then you and I may come to have a better understanding at least till I hear from
the great Cawne Bahawdir to whom I am now going to write and have his answer,
till when I shall be awake, I need say no more.

To the most Excellent and most

Illustrious Prince Cawne Bahawdir
Ameer ul Ombrah "William Fkaser
Govern*- of Port S t ' George for Affairs of
the English Nation, wisheth all health.

Fort S t - George
May y s - 29 th 1710.

May tbe speciall providence of the only great God and the diviue gooduess of
the most High always keep and guard the person of the great and most noble Prince
Cawne Bahawdir, that he may be always as a seal on the right hand and a precious
jewell in the eyes of the great and most victorious King Shaw Allum whose happy
reign with long life God continue to be the glory of the age, and that his great fame
and praises may reach to the ends of the earth.

It was the happy time when the royall army of the all conquering King Orem
Zeb lay before Chingee when yo r . victorious arms laid seige to that strong fortress
that my Predecessor J[ohn] Yale was so highly houourd by the Nishan sent him by
the then royall Prince Mahomud Cawne Bax under his larger signature, we were
likewise at the same time honourd with Perwanuas from the great and most
renowud Assid Cawne then Grand Vizier your most noble father, and our honour-
able great & good freind, as also perwannas from yo r ' noble self & Allemudde3 Cawne
Nabob bearing date the 25 th of the month Jemaydellasay in the 35 th year of the
happy reign of the great Orem Zeb Allumgeer by all which the Nishan and the
aforesaid severall Perwannas in a gratefull sence expressing the good service &
assistance of the then English Govern 1 ", of Port S 1 ' George for which good service of
the English Companv meeting with the good inclination & generous disposition of the
Prioce & the great Assid Cawne -were pleasd to honour the English with the Epithet
of the King[s] freinds, & as a further demonstration of the Princes speciall favour &
good esteem he had of our faithful! service to the King, he freely gave and granted
to the English Govern*. & his Successors by his great & generous Nishan the power
& perpetuall leave and liberty of coyning gold and silver of the severall species of
the fortunate stamps to the weight and purity of the establishd Standard to pass
Currant in all the Kings vast dominions.

And on the 10 th . Peb ry . 1692/3 being the 36 th . year of the Kings reign we were
honourd with the Nabob the great Assid Cawne[s] Perwannas which freely gave
and granted to the English Company the perpetuall inheritance of three Villages,
Egmore, Tandore & Persiwaca with all and singular their proflits and Incomes with
assurance he would procure from the Throne a Royall Phirmaund to confirm our
old priviledges with additions of others new, according to our request of all which
your noble self was the great and happy instrument, those Perwannas came by the
hands of Emaum Cooly which we receivd here with great Solemnity on the 25 th .
Feb ry . 1692/3 according to the Christian iEra, Copy of which perwanna I send yo r .
Excell oy . attested by the Codjee.

Since which time we have and ever shall continue true and faithfu.ll freinds to
the Kings interest in consideration of which the late Nabob Dowed Cawne gener-
ously gave and granted to Gov r . Pitt my late Predecessor five Villages Vizt
Longumbauc, Varsalavada, Trivitore, Sautungudda, & Cuttevauca as may appear by
his perwanna dated the 28 th . of Septemb r . 1708 which five villages are valued in the
Kings books at fifteen hundred Pag s . & ami, but I let them out for no more then
twelve hundred Pag 8 , yearly, on purpose that the people may live easy and quiet,
Copy of said Perwanna attested by the Codjee I send yo 1 ". Highness, which is said
to be out of your Jaggeir but that Nabob Dowed Cawne gave yo r . Highness an
equivolent out of his own Jaggeir at S\ Thoma because those Villages were joyning
to our three old Villages granted us, as has been said by the Nabob the great Assid
Cawnes perwannas.

But so it is, may it please yo r . Highness, that one Teavellapa a pernicious
wicked fellow who hath rented the Pullimuliee and Trippasore Country's about us,

Diary and Consultation Book, 1710 55

-FORT ST. GEORGE, JUNE 1710-

went up to Cuddapa about a month or six weeks before Nabob Dowed Oawne left
that place and never let Dowed Cawne be quiet till by his earnest solicitations, and
bribes to servants, & under Officers, he so farr prevaild at last that he gott and
obtaind a new perwanna from that Nabob reversing his former perwannas which
gave and granted the aforesaid five villages to the English Company, tho we give
away more then those Villages bring in, of which we lay up nothing, as much
more valuing the honour and freiudship of the giver, then the gift, But this is
not all his malice but that the said Yeavellapa is endeavouring all he can might and
main to prevail with the Duan & Sheik at Arcot to petition yo 1 '. Highuess for
obtaining yo r . Perwannas to take away the 3 old Tillages given and granted to the
English Company (as has been said) by the Perwannas of the Nabob the great
Assid Cawne yo 1 '. most noble father, by which they would endeavour to east a
blemish upon the faith and honour of so great a Personage, in derogation to his
promise, which I hope yo 1 '. Highness will have regard for, that our faithful! and
mutuall freindship may be preservd inviolable.

This same Teavellapah the Epitome of all venome and malice has dealt knav-
ishly and treacherously with Madrass a place where he stores up so much paddy
&c a . grain, on which he takes up and borrows money of our Inhabitants to enable
him to pay his rent at the same time when due, & thereby making a scarcity &
dearness of grain in a time of plenty to grind the face of the poor, without which
borrow'd money he would be forced to sell his paddy all seasons of the year cheap,
to make money to clear and pay the Duan, this matter of the paddy is a great
greivance which I hope yo r . Highness will redress by ratifying and confirming to us,
yo 1 '. most noble father's former Perwannas, and inforce them by new ones from your
great and generous self, this will perpetuate jo r .name worthy to be ingraved in letters
of Gold on the rarest monuments of marble, that yo r . praises may be always celebrated
with the greatest solemnity, and that all yo 1 '. great undertakings and management in
affairs of state the Heavens may always be propitious to you, with a Continuance of
the King's favour, what more should I say.

Erom Duan Sadatulla Cawne rec d . y e . 30 th May 1710.

All health ! I have formerly wrote you about the Hoosbullhookum I receivd

performd he would most undoubtedly have rec a . the prcemium, but not only before
he went from hence but likewise in Bengali both he and his Captain who was to
receive on the same consideration 1500 Eup 3 . immoderately broke it, first to my own
knowledge by taking Arm[eni]ans Rupees upon freight, with a design to defraud the
Freighters of that advantage, & afterwards as I am credibly informed by loading so

for which reason and other irregularitys committed by the said Jacob Lorenzo and
his Captain, the Hon ble . Thomas Pitt requested the Govern r . of Tranqambarr he
might be discharg'd from his employ on the ships arrivall at Anjengo, which he

rejoyce, yo r . Hon 1 , had best dispatch a Vackeel hither with all speed, that so matters
may be made up in a freindly manner, the Duan has wrote you to deliver up
Trivitore &c a . villages according to Cawne Bahawdirs order and has sent Perserom
to seize them, so you had better deliver them to him which will please the Duan,
and gain credit to yo T . self. We have before sent Moroo Puntuloo about the
Diamond which he must bring with him, and you ought to comply therein, because
there's a strict order from Court about it, what can I say more.

was never used so illy by any Govern r . before, for that Cawne Bahawdir has sent
frequent orders to deliver the villages to Nowarjee, about which the Duan has wrote
strictly to yo r . Hon 1 ., & Do wed Cawne has done the same, I have argued very much
in yo r . behalf, but he won't hearken to any thing till the Villages are first deliverd.
When Cojah Hamud yo r . Vackeel shall appear here about the old Villages & the

ing the delivering up the five new Villages and also one from Duan Sadatulla Cawne
the present Nabob of these parts, which orders to comply therewith, both which are
as Enterd after this Consultation.

And finding the Duan is somewhat more smooth & obliging in his Style then in
his former perwannas, and that he expects a present from us, and it being always
accustomary to present these great men at their first coming to their places, which
probably will accomodate matters with him, and he having now receiv'd the additionall
honours' and dignitys of the Sea port towns, It's therefore agreed that a present be
made him the amount of which is deferr'd untill next Consultation.

rbo b . y b . 16 of June 1710.
The Cornatta Sea ports which were granted to Zoudee Cawne are now again
confirm'd to Sadatulla Cawne as before, which is the occasion of this, tbat so you may
not lett Zoudee Cawne meddle with them.

Those Villages in thePullimullee Country which the Nabob Bowed Cawne gave
you out of my Jaggeir deliver up to the Manager of the Country of Pullimullee.

Prom Duan Sadatulla Cawne

rbo d . 16 th June 1710.

I rec d . yo r . letter ami observe the Contents, you write me that you won't deliver
up the five new Villages till you hear from Cawne Bahawdir & Dowed Cawne, a
perwanna from Dowed Cawne you have had already, & herewith comes one from
Cawne Bahawdir eo you must accordingly deliver up those Villages, which if you
don't doe in a freindly manner, we will use all means to take the old Villages too.

These Villages are of no great value but I must obey & seize them according
to Cawne Bahawdirs order, or else I can give sue [h] from my self, however you
ought to keep a good Correspondence, which will be best for every body, for I am
able to write to Cawne Bahawdir to bestow his favour upon you again.

As to what you wrote me about Surat I observe it, you have hitherto had my
favour & shall continue it, for the seizing the Villages is in Cawne Bahawdirs power
and not mine, for all which he will be able to answer for himself at Court, but if
you think your self able to contend with him you may, for my part I won't trouble
my self about it, for if you again procure the said Nabobs orders to confirm them,
you shall have them, for the same perwanna [and] Seal that gave them to you, upon
the receivall of the very same [to] give them back you should have deliverd them,
for all Merchants should doe that which is just and fair.

The matter relating to the present at Metchlepatam being now taken into debate
it's considerd should we use any hostil[e] ways to force the present off the shoar, it
is not suitable in our present circumstances not having obtaiud any Phirmaund from
Court nor doe we know what the consequences of such hostile proceedings may
occasion in the end and the Gusbardar there being an Officer immediately sent from
Court to take charge of and conduct the same to the King, and likewise the troubles
M v . Holeombes debt to Fuckerla Cawne has involv'd us at Vizagapat m . therefore
upon the whole it is resolvd that we order y e . Des Bouveri[e] in her way to Bengali
to call in at Metchlepatam, and that M r - Faucett (who goes a passenger ou said ship
to Vizagapat m .) doe goe ashore who with M r . TSToden resident there are to goe to the

it's true you have receipts under my Seal for all the above mentioned acco ts - except-

Es. 23000.

Other people in the world allow 3 or 2i ^ Cent, but you gave me a bond
allowing me but one ^ Cent, notwithstanding that being pre[tty] tolerable interest
I agreed to it, and now its above six or seven years past, for which time there is
due to me 60 or 70 thousand Eupees with principall and interest, likewise ten or
five thousand Eup s - more or less which together amo thl - to a hundred thousand Eupees.
I have shew'd a great esteem for you and had that confidence in you as to
intrust my Estate into your hands, therefore I am satisfy'd that no person of any
other religion would have dealt so uncivilly and unrespectfully by me as you have
acted, likewise now you unreasonably deferr the payment in telling me you'l
discharge the debt as soon as you receive money and at my arrivall in your place,
but in the mean time you trade with the money and make at least 25 or 50 W Cent
proffit, besides is it proper or handsome you should occasion me so much trouble in
perpetually writing to you, and sending my people up and down, who always return
without any satisfactory answer, my money is like bread as hard as iron so not easily
digested, perhaps you may imagine I can't come to your place, so intend to wrong
me of my money but if 1 live I'le certainly come into that part within the space of 4,
6 or 12 months, if I meet with any convenient opportunity, and then haw can you
hope or expect to have my favour, having renderd yo r " self so unjust and uncivill,
perhaps you may intend give me the slip and goe for Madrass or some other
Seaport town, but goe where you will you are still in King AurengZeb's Country, so
I can procure orders sent by the Gusbardars to the Subaof that Country and seize upon
yo r - house and goods and therewith clear my money or debt, then afterwards take
no further notice of you, which you'l not digest or well approve of for accurding
to any Law I can demand my money and will have it by fair means or foul, therefore
fear God and consider I must have my money, so draw bills upon Metchlepatam or
else vou shall repent it as long as you live, I write you this as likewise I wrote you
before by Phautee Mahomud, which pray peruse & consider well of it, you must
not think I only threaten you for God knows I am very impatient so expect a full and
satisfactory answer or else you shall find I'le send orders with Gusbadars to Meian
Cawne and will wait no longer.

FORT ST. GEORGE, AUGUST 1710

Hon ble . S r . &c\

Yo v . Hon 1 '. &c a . Gentlemen were pleasti to send for us up the second day of
August into Consultation and then impart to us a paragraph of a letter from our
Hon ble . Employers wherein they thick convenient to order the reduction of our
monthly pay.

We presume the Hon ble . Gentlemen who first estabHstid this place upon the due
consideration of all the by laws they made for the benefit of it, amongst others found
that a generous allowance to their Servants, not only encouraged those who acted in
their mercantile affairs to deal honestly by them, but likewise animated the Soldiers
in their Sphere to move with all conduct, courage & fidelity that could possibly be
shewn, whenever they were calld upon to act in protection of their Settlements and
Estates, and consequently that was the cause that our Predecessors rec d . the continu-
ation of our Masters first favours.

If we have deserv'd less we shall most readily submitt to their Hon™, order, but
as we are conscious to ourselves and yo 1 '. Hon 1 '. &c a . well knows we have never faild
in any one part of our duty, we humbly make bold to represent to you upon due con-
sideration of our pay, and the dearness of diet aDd cloaths, 'twill be impossible for a
single man to subsist & equip himself like an Officer, and a much greater impossi-
bility for those of us that have family s and have settled here with hopes that they
should never have receivd any discouragement from their Hon ble . Employers so long
as they merited their favours.

We further think it our duty to represent to you that our inferiour Officers doe
with a great deal of difficulty subsist and cloath themselves with their present pay,
and how they can maintain their familys when you have made so considerable a
deduction from it as the Hon Me . Company orders we leave you to judge, and in the
paragraph of the Hon bl8 . Comp as . letter read to us relating to that affair, they mention
it's their positive order to the 13ay &c a . and that it's to be lookd on as a standing one
for the future in this place, yo 1 '. Hon 1 '. &c a . are very sensible that provisions are much
cheaper in those parts, and that a .Rupee will goe as farr as a Pagoda here.

This we desire you'le be pleasd to take into your serious consideration, and
represent home to our Hon ble . Employers, the hardships we must consequently labour
under if the severity of their orders are executed, requesting yo 1 '. Hon 1 '. &c a . will
deferr it till this our case is lain before them, and their further pleasure is known,
and we assure yo 1 '. Hon 1 '. &c a . as we have hitherto, so we shall continue to approve our
selves upon all occasions

Council at Trincombarr read, acknowledging the receipt of ours, and promising their
utmost assistance in giving due notice by sending of to any ships sailing by with
English colours, of the four French being arrivd at Pondichery.

The petition of the Military Officers of this Garrison relating to the reduction of
their pay referrd to this day was taken into consideration, and seriously debated,
and we well knowing the certain truth of their allegations, relating to the price of
provisions here and in Bengali, where at the latter a Bupee goes as farr as a Pagoda
does at Madrass, & likewise their neat and decent cloathing themselves is very charge-
able, and severall of the inferiour Officers that have familys can but barely subsist on
their usuall pay, and the late advices from Fort 8*. David by the orders sent them on
this occasion may prove of fatall consequence by driving things to extremity, We
having reason to believe that the like may happen here, to prevent which we think it
highly necessary to act the prudentiall part and pay them as usually, which the Pay-
mast 1 ', is orderd to doe accordingly, untill the Hon ble . Companys pleasure be further
known in this matter.

Nations that inhabit here which I performd with all the solemnity I possibly could

and freindship, and I humbly beceech yo 1 Royall Highness will be pleasd to take
under your Royall care and patronage the affairs of the R l . Hon bl '. English East
India Company now depending before the bright Throne of the high and mighty
Emperor Sbaaalim yo 1 ' Royall father, in such manner as that the perfecting of so
good a work of obtaining the King's new Phirmaunds for confirming the ancient
grants and priviledges of his Royall Predecessors to the Hon' ,le . the English Company,
with what more his Gracious Majesty may add according to his own good will
and pleasure may be ascrib'd unto your Grace, I hopeyo 1 . Royall Highness will please
to give (as the Master peice of all) the last finishing stroke to this same great affair,
which your Koyall Highness hath hitherto so much favourd and countenane'd by yo r .
powerfu.ll Influence at Court, for which I shall not be wanting to the utmost of my
ability to observe and obey your Royall Highnesses commands in making my humble
and gratefull acknowledgment at the most Magnificent Court, concerning which and
the manner of it I shall write more large to the Lord Admirall Zoudee Cawne,
besides we shall record and register in letters of Gold in the Chronicles of the Knglish
Nation, yo 1 '. Royal Highnesses name with all honour and renown, to be laid up in
our Archives to perpetuate the same to posterity and the generation not yet born,
1 pray God may keep yo T . Highness always under his protection, with a continual!
stream of the Kings love, favour, and grace, always flowing upon you without
ebbing, and that you may always be the love and delight of Mankind, after this what
can I say more.

Peom His Excell ct . Zoudee Cawn

May the Succours of Heaven, and the favour of the most Holy always attend your
happy thoughts and your high state.

After having made known the greatness of my desire to see you, a[nd] assuring
you of my friendship, I am to acquaint you, that I have of [late] been inform'd by
letters from Agha Mahomud Mukheem, that yo 1 '. \ Hon r ] was arrivd in Chinnapatam,
& had taken the Government upon you, [this] news was matter of great joy to me.
Mav the Mercifull God,make you happy, very happy to you. and bestow those blessings
upon vou, wh[ cl1 ] the best of your freinds can wish you, Although it was never my
foiftune] to see you, yet I was not Stranger to yo r good Character, and which co[mes]
now confirmd afresh in Agha Mahomud Mukheem's letters, from su[ch] kind of men,
we conceive great hopes. The Correspondence which was in a freindly manner
maintaind between myself and the former Governour, is well known, And in regard
the reason of maintaining of a good friendship & correspondence still remains the same
(particularly in regard [to] the Company's affairs, & affairs of that nature, it doth
remain so) it [is] requisite that that best of freinds doe more and more apply hirn-
[self] to establish a freindly Correspondence, and to carry on the Cornp" 5 . affairs and
to doe all other Offices that sincerity and freindship require from [us] and then he
may on all sides be at ease, And if, as heretofore, you will acquaint me with your
State, with your good health, and the state of your affairs from time to time, without-
using any shyness or strangeness, I shali take it very kindly. As I formerly writt you
of my having the charge of the Sea ports both on this and on that side ; Accordingly
bv the blessing of God & his safe conduct, I arrivd safe at Hughly, and after my
arrivall, applyd myself with all diligence to settle affairs. And since I accepted of
this employment, only, for the better promoting of your affairs, and for the sake of
my Cowle and Contract with the former Govern 1 '., I conceive hopes from the freind-
ship between us, that as I have writt in another letter ; you will with all application,
effectually provide for the safe going and coming of ships, the flourishing of the Sea
ports, the tranquility of God's people, the putting a stop to Piracys, and laying open
the ways by sea, in such a manner as it ought to be ; There is a Nishan and a vest
graciously granted yo r . Hon r . by his Royal] Highness the Kings son, Prince of the
world, and all wordly things, and the entrance of whose door is equall in diginity to
the skyes, The Nishan is sent along with this letter, which you are to receive with
all the tokens of duty and homage And the Vest together with my Present by the help

of the most High, shall be sent you as soon as the ships goe, The Captain of Calcutta
came to visit me, I receive! him with all the marks of freindship and civility, presenting
him with a Vest, a horse &c a according to his quality, and likewise those, that were
with him. After some discourse the said Captain gave me to understand that of the
Present designd for his Maj ty part was arrivd at Calcutta, the rest was at Metchle-
patam, but would be brought there in a little time, In regard the coming forth of a
Phirmaund full of favours, & answering yo r . severall requests is putt a stop to until!
your Present doth arrive, It is necessary that whatever part of the present is yet
remaining behind, should be sent forthwith that it may arrive this monsoon, and L
may send it up to Court ; that so the favours of the Great Ministers, attending the
Throne of Majesty and Brightness may respect the State of my good freind, In
regard that his Majesty hath issued out an order for the buying of Jewels and Pearl,
Elephants & Horses, I now write to yo 1 '. Hon r ., to desire you, that in th[is] affair you
would perform the part of a freind toward me, in giving a strict charge to all
Merchants, whether your own or Strangers, and in writing to them, and in giving them
your Cowle or any security they shall demand, that what quantity soever of Jewells
&c a they shall be able to gett together, they shall bring them to Hughly, and they shall
be paid for them at the Market price. As to myself, I have petitiond the King's
Sacred Throne in behalf of my worthy freind, so farr as the dutys of Love and freind-
ship could oblige me, In a short time the Grace and Favour of the Throne of the
Lord of the Earth and the Age, and whose Court is equall to the .kys will graciously
respect your State, And the Merchandize and the affairs of the Company will goe on in
a fair way, As to all other matters Aga Mahomud Muokheem will inform you, In
regard there is that good understanding between us two, Give me leave to declare to
you, that of all affairs, I recommend to you in particular the buisness of Pegue, that in
that behalf you would act the part of a true and real freind, and that upon all occasions,
you doe help & assist the abovementiond Agha, and the said Agha being sensible of
your help and countenance, will Day by Day send me an account of your state, & of
your affairs, and I doe assure you, that my heart, good will and desire of seeing you
are allways towards you, To Conclude may you remain in health, wealth, and safety.

FORT ST. GEORGE, SEPTEMBER 1710

To His Excellency Zoudee Cawne Bahawdir
Lord Admirall of all his Majestys Ports
in the Kingdom of" Bengall, Oudeisa,
Metchlepatam, Cornattah &c\ and
Phousdar of Hughly

Health Fort St. George Septemb 1 ' 18th 1710.

My first addresses to yo r . Excell cy . was of the 12th of May last Congratulating
yo r new honours and dignitys which the King in his great judgment hath conferrd
upon you in part, as the reward of your great merit your Loyalty and faithfull
service to so great a King, which I hope is come to your hands.

My next after address to your Excell cy - was of the 27 th of June last by your
good brother in Law Meersufdar whom I hope is long since arrivd to kiss your
hands at Hughly, he took his passage hence on a ship belonging to this place call'd
the Josiah.

On another of our ships 1 sent yo r - Excell oy - one of yo 1 "- meuial servants Hajee
Cajum by name.

I have wrote Mirza Abul Fuzzil, that he return hither upon the very first ship
that comes from Pegue directly for this place, which when he arrives shall show him
all the favour, and respect I can, copy of what 1 wrote and sent in April last, and
the letter I have now sent to the said Embassador by a ship that saild hence
yesterday for Pegue I now send yo r ' Excell cy - that I may not omitt any thing as
becomes the great esteem and respect 1 bear your Excell cy - for your noble and
generous performance of the many eminent acts of great freindship, and special favours
yo r - Excell cy - has done to ray late Predecessor, and that which makes it (if possible)
the more praiseworthy, is your faithfull promises of continuing the same favour in
their full extent and real good meaning to my self as his Successour, and 1 shall in true
gratitude of such your favours as are above value, act the reoiprocall on my part as
much as ever I can to perfect so good a beginning to its full maturity of a firm, fix'd
and permaneut mutual love and sincere good freindship, because ardent love is the
happy state and life of Angels.

Having premise! thus much, 'tis time I should draw the Scene to the 14 th - of last
month which brought us the honour, of yo 1 ' Excell cys - perwaua with the glad
tidings of your being safely arrivd at Hughly, as also the high honour of the Eoyall
Princes Nisban procurd lor me by yo 1 ' Excell cys - means and special favour, which
I shall ever acknowledge as so, all this together made that a day of all joy and glad-
ness not only to my self but to all the people of the severall Nations that inhabit here,
which high honour of the Royall Princes Nishan I receivd with the greatest solemnity
I could, all the people at the same time with one voice sounding out his Highnesses
(and yo r - own) praises.

Having wrote thus much, just now is brought to me the more perfect Translate
of yo r - Excell^ 8 - second private and particular letter by which I know mine are come
to your hands, which at first when I begun this letter I did not know.

The most valuable part of the Kings present was sent to Metchlep" 1 about some
13 or 14 months agoe in my Predecessors time, designd to have sent the same over-
land as farr as Golcondah, but by reason of the severail incoaveniencys attending
such an undertaking that first design was wholly laid aside as impracticable.

I have in complyance with yo r - Exeell cys orders sent a ship to that port in May
last with intent to have receiv'd and taken on board the s d - present to be carryd up
to Bengali to the English Gentlemen our freinds there, and to await your Excell cy8
arrivall at Hughly, to have the same deliverd to your Excell cy , but that ship having
stayd there gome three or four days departed thence (having done nothing) and
proceeded on her Voyage to Bengali, the Government of Metchlepatam alledging
for their excuse that they were under and subordinate to Isuph Cavrne the Subah of

100 Records of Fort St. George

FORT ST. GEORGE, SEPTEMBER 1710

Goleondah, likewise on the 19"' last month I dispatchd another ship to Metehle-
patam to the same intent and purpose as the former, with yo r - Fxcell cys - Perwanna
to the Kings Gusbardar, but he was gone to Goleondah before the perwanna arrivd,
which my people keep to deliver him when he returns, that ship stayd full three days
at that Port, without doing any thing of what she was sent for, for the reasons
aforesaid and then proceeded to Bengali, by whom I did not write anything to yo r -
Excell cv by reason the Perwanna wherewith yo 1 '- Excell cy - was pleasd to honour me
with was not then translated.

And supposing at last the Suba of Golcondahs orders be sent to Mirza Mahomud
Yarbeeg Phousdar of Metehlepatam for the delivery of the Kings present to your
yxcell cys order, yet it cannot be sent away sooner than next monsoon to favour it's
being sent to Bengali which will be in Feb 17 - next, four months hence.

1 have according to yo 1 - ExcelF 5 "'- commands discours'd the most eminent
Merchants here that deal in jewels and pearl who all promise a complyance but wish
rather that yo 1 ' Exeell cy would plea9e to send hither your Vackeel or Gomosta ; they
being fearfull of the sea, as not having been used to the same, and at last cannot be
performd till next monsoon as I have said, when I shall engage them to proceed to
Bengali in the way and manner your ExcelF 5 '- has orderd, but the hardest matter
and greatest difficulty remains how to send any Elephants hence to Bengali, but
I shall endeavour all I can to prevail with those Merchants here that expect
Elephants from Pegue next March to continue them on board ship for Bengali.

I have here five Elephants designd as part of the Kings present but doe not
know what to doe or how they can be sent yo r - Exeell cy having kept them now
above fourteen months and I am very uneasy untill all the parts of the Kings
present be sent away so as that they may arrive safely with your Excell cy - at Hughly.

I am told Racean produces a breed of Elephants of a very large Cast, and bigger
then any that come from Pegue, and easyer brought to Bengali then from any other
parts, of which yo 1 '- Excell cy - may be perfectly informd by severall within your own
Government.

I have attempted to give my humble answer to his Boyall Highnesses Nishan
which comes herewith, which I hope by yo r - Excell cyrt means may meet with a favour-
able acceptance.

Yo r - Excell eyB - perwannas are so full of grace and goodness that they doe not
only give me leave, but bid me write full acid freely to yo T Exceil cy - without any
shyriess or reserve, hath embolden'd me to be thus large.

There is a people of the Prench Nation who call themselves by the name and
apellation of a new S fc Male's Company of Merchants Trading to the East Indies, they
come out in a body of some 7 or 8 ships in Company, they are of great force both -as
to men and guns, they bring out but a very small stock to invest in goods, four such
ships have arrivd at Pondichery on the .19 th - August last, where they have contracted
w th . the Merchants of that place for an Investment of seventy thousand Pagodas
worth of severall sorts of Cloth, which is not sufficient to fill up any one of their
larger ships, on the 4 th ' of this month they saild from Pondichery, and as is beleivd
are gone to Mergy a Sea port belonging to the King of Syam, there to fitt and clean
their ships and then to goe a cruizing for what ships they can meet with belonging
to the English that they can take and make prize of, 'tis true the Crown of England
hath maintaind a great and just warr for eight years past against the King of
France who would endeavour to oppress and insult over severall Soveraign & Inde-
pendant Princes and Free States, till now that he is fore'd to s\ibmitt to the fate of
warr by the Hon Ke terms and conditions he offers as the ground work of a long and
permanent peace, but this warr in Europe ought not to extend to these parts of the
world, which these French ships doe, by takeing the innocent fair tradeing Merchants
ships belonging to the English that inhabit here as well as the English that live and
trade, in all our Companys Settlements in the severall parts of India, and 'tis a truth
well known that the Stocks adventurd on the severall Country ships in this place

Diary and Consultation Book, 1710

-FORT ST. GEORGE, SEPTEMBER 1710-

and other Ports belonging to the English, such Stocks sent to Sea is not always all of
it properly the English, but that the Natives are pretty much concernd, and even
the great men the Ombrahs by their Yackeels and Gomosta's are often very deeply
concernd in such Country Trading ships.

But this is a subject matter proper to be discoursd of between 'yo r- Excell 07 - &
our Comp as - worthy President the Hon ble . Anthony Weltden Esq. Govern 1 "- of Calcutta
newly arrivd there, a very ingenious Gentleman, made up of abundance of good
complicated parts, his conference with yo r Excell 07 ' when your leisure from greater
affairs may admitt the same, will justify the character I give of him to yo r \ Excell 073,
Satisfaction.

May the Almighty Good God the Author of our being, be always propitious to
you, and guide and direct you in his righteous wayes that you may see your
Childrens Children prolong their dayes with honour and prosperity, and that the
Kings favour, love, and affection may always increase and continue to you, without
malice or enemys, that all hearts may pray, and all mouths speak out God bless and
preserve the Noble brave Lord Zoudee Cawne.

A Letter rec d " at ten this morning from Negapatam by Dutch peons dated the 11 th .
inst*' from M r - Harrison at Jaffnapatam, adviseing that Cap'- . Henry Cornwall with
the assistance of the Dutch and their Sloops had gott the Ship Sherborne off from the
Sand where she first struck and was arrivd and at an anchor at Point Pedro, and that
she had not receivd near the damage as was at first suppos'd, but that her own people
had rifled her of all they could lay their hands on, and still continued disaffected

Elephants is a great charge they having been bought and design'd a part of the

The Companys Merchants having been often sent for and prest to eome to an Proposals for
agreement for this Years Investment, were now again sent for but still persisted in InTestm -
their former answer, which was to provide the goods on the same terms as they did
last years but conditionally that they might have all the Broad Cloth now sent out
on the same terms likewise (which was fifty ^> Cent on Invoice), But we urgin 0,
that the Cloth now sent out (as it really is) farr better in it's kind both in respect to
its dye, curing, and packing then what formerly sent, therefore insisted on sixty W-
Cent advance, which they could by no means be brought to comply with, insisting
that Cotton was now much dearer, and the Camp at a greater distance upon which
they were orderd to withdraw.

Upon the whole it's considerd that there is no other Merchants to contract with
on whom we can rely to gett in their goods timely enough to be sent on the Jan rv :
Shipping, they having now good quantitys both in Town and Country that enables
them to perform better then any other new Undertakers can, It's therefore Agreed
that we let them have all the Broad Cloth & Perpetuanoes come ^ this years
shipping, reserving enough for Presents and the use of the Garrison, at fifty five W-
Cent advance on Invoice, And the Merchants being again called in were acquainted
with this our last and finall resolution, to which with much adoe, and great perswa-
sion they were brought to acquiesce, and promis'd to bring in the severall quantitys
and Species of Callicoes as $ List deliverd them, which is as Enterd after our
Consultation. of the 15 th August last, but would sign no Contract, they having no
money advancd them of the Hon ble Companys.

Peter De Legroy a French man by Nation, and marry'd in this place, but rather Peter Lagroy-
a Vagrant than a settled Inhabitant here and it being known that he has been very p^eanf 6
active in severall ill Offices in respect to the Government of this place but more wh ?-
especially now of late having gone hence to Pondichery without leave or any know-
ledge of the Govern r . where he acted the part of an Incendiary by stirring up three of
the French Captains to protest against Mons 1 '. Raoul Command 1 ', of the Marrepaw, &
Comma[n]dant of that Squadron, for that they in their passage outward bound having
seen four ships would not bear down to engage them, which the said Legroy averrd
to be the English East India Companys ships, which protest they deliverd" into S 1 '.
Andrew Hebert Govern 1 , of Pondichery, Upon the whole it's unanimously agreed
that the said Legroy doe depart this place in forty days, and that Notes be affixd
at the Gates to give notice of this our order.

your well wishers letter by the Companys Cossid, of the Hon ble . Thomas Pitt the late

the Piscash, that the Gusbardar had been very urgent and saucy, that at first he
had consented that the Piscash should goe by way of Hugly, but now was very
urgent to have it carry'd by way of Golcondah to the King, that tliere was a letter
come from the Nabob Isuph Cawne to the Phousdar of Metchlepatam &c a , is come
to hand.

I was very well pleas'd with reading the contents of it & I desire yo 1 . Hon r .
to beleive that I am as much your freind as I was the former Governours, and that
the same freindship, Cowles and tyes that were before, the same doe remain still, and
I am very ready upon all occasions to assist and favour you in all your interests,
and knowing this let yo 1 '. Hon 1 ', with all the security in the world apply himself
earnestly to mind the affairs of the Company, and those of the King, that are under
his care, By the help of God most high the freindship and correspondence between
us, shall be every day improvd more and more, I was not a little pleas'd with the
character of yo 1 '. Hon 1 ", goodness, God Almighty preserve and bless you more and
more, your forwarding the letters to Abul Fuzzal was kindly done, upon that occasion,
what shall I write you the doing of those offices which freindship requires at our
hands, you will esteem humanity, and as to that affair of sending the present by way
of Hugly that there was an order of the King about it I have writt you before and
now I write you the same again I have also writt to his Lordship Mahomud Isuph
Cawne, and to the Gusbardar, and to Mirza Mahomud Zemaun my Deputy in that
Phousdarship, that there was an order from the presence full of light, writt to me to
that purpose, there are half of the things belonging to the Piscash at Hughly already,
and pray write to your Cheif at Metchlepatam that he send the remains with all pos-
sible speed to Hughly too, that from hence according to the order they may be sent to
the Royall Presence and let the Gusbardar convey himself to Hughly by way of the
sea or by way of Chickacull, which he shall like best, that from hence he may accom-
pany the present to the Court, if the Gusbardar will come here it is well, but if not,
let not your Hon r . for any thing he shall say stop the sending of the Piscash, let all
the things belonging to tiie Piscash be soon sent to Hughly, for the Royal Army is not
far from hence, besides there is his Majestys order that the present be sent by way of
Hughly, before all things let there be no delay in this affair aud doe not hearken to
what any body shall eay against it. The letter I sent you overland by the Cossids
will arrive you, I have also writt to Aga Mahomud Mackeem, what I thought needfull
upon that occasion, pray discharge in all things the part of a true freind according as
I writt you, I shall be always glad to hear of your state, what besides my respects
can I write more,

To his Excell ct ' Isuph Cawne

Suba of Golcondah Novem br . 7 th . 1710.

It cannot be unkown to yo r . Exoell cy . but that at the time the Royall Army was
moving towards Golcondah, our noble, great & good freind Zoudee Cawne then Lord
high Steward of the Kings household did by himself, and the power and interest of
his best freinds by their humble addresses to the bright and all shining Throne in
behalf of the Hon ble . the English East India Company, whose affairs he did sollicit-
ate with so much care, pains, and diligence, as that the King was pleas'd to honour
the then English Govern 1 , of Chinnapatam my Predecessor twice with his Royall
vests & Hosbullhookums.

At which time the Lord Zoudee Cawne wrote to the said Govern 1 , my Predeces-
sor, to prepare and gett ready such a magnificent present of such valuable varietys
as could be procured to make such a present acceptable at Court, but before this
could be effected the Royal Standards began to return from Golcondah and move
towards -Dilly, when the s d . Lord Zoudes Cawne procured the Gusbardar Moosau-
pheer Beeg to be sent to Metchlepatam to accompany the present as then intended to
have been sent overland, but so many inconveniencys following as would have

renderd the same very hazardous, if not impossible to have sent the present to
arrive safe at Court by reason of the great rains in that season, besides the Kings
Enemys the Moratta's, Rajahs, & Pollygars iay in wait to haveengag'd the taking or
plundering of the Kings Present, since when we have rec d . severall Perwannas from
the Lord Zoudee Cawne acquainting us that tis the Kings special order to have the
Royall present sent by sea to Bengali to meet him at Hughly, the place and seat of
the Lord Zoudee Cawnes government in order to send the same to Court, and in
obedience to which his commands I sent a small ship hence in May last to Metchle-
patam in order to receive and take on board the King's Present lying in our Factory,
w oh . your people and as they say by your order mainly opposed & hinderd since when
on the 14 th August last I rec d . another Perwanna from the Lord Zoudee Cawne from
Hughty wherein he advises me that 'tis the Kings absolute and positive order that the
Present he sent by sea to Bengali & so to Hughly to be sent thence to Dilly, and with
the said Perwanna I had by means of Zoudee Cawne, the honour of the Prince
Azemoodeens Nishan with a Princely Vest sent me, desiring me to observe the Lord
Zoudee Cawnes orders relating to the Kings present and in obedience to which I did
accordingly send a large English ship in August last to Metchlepatam there to receive
and take the same on board, which the Gusbardar and your people hinderd and
oppos'd as they still doe to this very day, I therefore send yo r . Excell 05 '. a true copy
of the Princes Nishan & the Lord Zoudee Cawnes Perwanna last rec d . attested by the
Codjee, on purpose to clear yo 1 '. Excell cy . of any scruple you may have in your mind
as to this matter, and I shall easily comply w th . yo 1 '. Excell 07 . in any just thing that
is not contrary or repugnant to any orders from Court, you are both of you good as
well as great men, in the Kings service, as well as in his favour, why then should
there be any difference between such two wise men after this what can I say more,
Just now at finishing this a fresh letter is come to your Excell cy . which I now send

From Zoudeb Cawne to M\ Noden Cheif of Metchlepatam

rec d . in Madras Noveinbe r . y e . 9 th 1710.

Lately an empty ship arrivd here which was sent to Metchlepatam to receive on
board the present, but T hear the Gusbardar hinderd the embarking thereof (whom
I myself procurd and sent thither to conduct the preseDt) but after his departure his
Maj ty . commanded me to send for it here, and from hence to forward it to the Court,
of which comm-mds the Gusbardar is at present ignorant so have wrote to him
relating to this affair, so in case he acts repugnant to these commands, he'll be
certainly turnd out of the service and his munsub, therefore charge you not to deliver

By the small parr that arrivd last night from Vizagapatam on whom came
Benjamin Henning a Passenger, an inhabitant of this place, and broaght as a
Generall letter of the 30 th past with a postcript of the 4 th inst*. from the Cheif and
Coancil there, with their Diarys and Consultations from the ^ m0 . Jaly to the 27 th
last month, and their acco 4 .. Cash for the month of October last.

Their said Generall being now read, apon which we make the following Obser-
vations, wherein they say they have none of ours since the 18 th of Aagust last sent
them ^ Susannah, which supposes oar next snbsequent packet to them of the 29 th
September sent overland to be miscarry'd.

That they had sent the Mallah &c a . Braminy to Fackerla Cawn's Camp to have
a sight of the seal affix'd to M r . Holcombes obligation, bat after waiting some dayes
with hopes and promises from the Rajah Ananteraaze they returnd with answer that
Faokerla Cawne was enrag'd to the last degree, and woald not hear any more
proposalls aboat his money withoat prompt payment, bat was coming himself within
a day or two with gans, ammanition &c a . to beseige their Town, and had placed
guards oo the roads to prevent their sending or receiving any letters and provisions
coming to them, and that Fuckerla Cawne refasing to show the Obligation they are
of opinion and believe that M 1 '. Holcombes Seal is affixd thereto and not the Hon ble .
Companys.

That on the 8 th past the said Nabob with his army consisting of about 7000 foot
& 801) horse encampd behind a great sand hill near the Town, and the 9 th at night
fired on their oat guards, which being returnd again by the English made the enemy
retire further, and tarn their seige into a blockade, by stopping all provisions of
which they were in great want, that they have made a Briggantine of the Riseing Saa
Smack, and fitted her ap in order to secure what may be putt aboard in time of
extremity.

The foregoing being a recitall of their said Generall letter almost verbatim.

First. We observe that the -Cheif has strangely errd in his politicks (not to say
worse) that he having by his former frequent letters advis'd us what he had then fore-
seen, as what might be the resalt and issae of not paying M 1 '. Holcombes old debt to
Fackerla Cawne, as the event now proves, that the Cheif &c a in that case should not
sooner & earlyer gott snfficiency of provisions for the ase of their Garrison, at least
untill the monsoon should serve for our sending them supplys hence.

Secondly. That the Cheif &c a shoald supply Nabob Habib Cawne and Fuckerla
Cawne with so large a qaantity of Gaapowder as 300 mds. eqaall to 15 Candy here,
& 100 maund of lead, when the said Nabobs and the Cheif were on so precarious
terms, and not only so bat by their Generall letter of the 27 th Jaly last write us to
send them 30 Candy of powder & 20 Candy of lead for a farther supply to the said
Nabobs notwithstanding the frequent caations we gave them, or withoat ever consi-
dering they were strengthening the hands of said Nabobs who were [then] contriv-
ing of the ways and means of laying that siege they have since form'd against that
Factory.

-FORT ST. GEORGE, DECEMBER 1710-

Thirdly. It being now the Northerly monsoon its strauge that the Cheif should
not have wrote to Bengali to the President and Council there to be supply 'd thence
with whatever they wanted.

Fourthly. That Juggapa the Braminy that arch knave and villain who was the The Braminy
cheif cause and instrument by the powerf till bribes he receivd from time to time from su^posd to P l)e
the Eajahs Ananterauz & Py[e]row, by whose means and perswasions he prevaild so theoooarion
farr with M 1 '. Holcombe as to induce him to lend those large sums of money at high trouble,
interest to those said Rajahs, which is still a debt, which we may reasonably suppose
to have been most or all Fuckerla Cawnes money, and has been the Originall cause
and hrst spring whence all these troubles are derivd, and devolvd upon us, and not-
withstanding our having so often & frequently wrote to M r . Hastings &c a there to send
us up the said Juggapa either by sea or by land, which has never been complyd with,
And being credibly inf orrnd Fuckerla Cawne does demand of the Cheif the said Braminy
and- that on the delivery up of him all the causes of their troubles shall cease.

And now upon the whole, It is unanimously agreed that we write the Cheif & heisorddto
Council there, that upon the reading the said intended letter to them, that they at beseourd -
that instant seize the said Juggapa, and putt him in irons, and secure all his books,
papers, and Accounts vv ch . if the Cheif should oppose or hinder the same, It is our
positive & peremptory order that the Council or any one of them doe execute this our
order, and that the Military & peons be assisting to him or them in this matter.

It's likewise agreed that the President write his letter to Fuokerla Cawne relat- n>e Preeidt.
ing to the premises, and desire him to send us up a person fittly qualifyd to accomo- ^toto*
date all matters, and that in the mean time to withdraw his forces from the Factory. Fuokerla

-FORT ST. GEORGE, DECEMBER 1710-

Generall letter from the President & Council in Bengali dated the 25 th . Nbvemb r . *f e t jP p arport

last now read, wherein they seem to reflect smartly on us, as having neglected so generaii

letter f r
Bengal],

very materiall a matter, as our not having sent them down no more bales, and our let "

not having advised them what Tofiage we could dispatch home this Season.

As to the first, the former usuall dry seasons having prov'd contrary this year by
the so many frequent great rains, as has not only hinderd our washers, but likewise
the bringing the cloth out of the country the like has not been known to the oldest
of the Natives now living which hinderd us from sending them no more bales then 300
on the Des Bouverie & Susannah, it being but prudence in us to keep a full loading
for the ship Frederick whom we might reasonably expect to arrive here the begin-
ning of October from the West Coast she having been the longest on Demorage.

As to the latter, we did early on the 3 d of Jan ry . last write to the then Council
of Bengali to advise us what Tonnage they thought they could be able to dispatch the
next October following for England to which they gave answer in theirs of the 27 th
Feb ry . following, where they say they having given the Loyall Bliss her full loading,
and that they judg'd they should be able to gett ready the next ensuing Season
twelve or thirteen hundred Tons for Europe, which was the reason we sent them so
much Tonnage and such large stocks, that they might send us what fine goods they
could spare, and we to fill the rest here, which is near equivolent to our having seat
them more bales, which at that time we could not doe.

Generaii letter from M r . Faucet at Metchlepatam dated the ^ m0 . inst 4 . now read, Letter from
with his acco 4 . of Expences from the 24 411 of August to the 4 th of November, which JJ*: ^J™ 8 * at
being very extravagant It's therefore orderd that copy of said acco*. be sent to " e ° ep ™'

FORT ST. GEORGE, DECEMBER 1710

To the Hon bie . William Fraser Esq, 1 .

Govern". &c\ Council of Fort S t George.

Hon lle . S 1 '. &c a .

I make bold to intrude this into your hands as an humble Sollieitor in my behalf
most humbly entreating you'd please to take the many and great misfortunes I have
lately labourd under into yo r . most serious consideration, assuring yo r . Hon 1 '. &c\ that
what errors & mistakes by me committed, have been purely thr6 long and frequent
illness together with the want of assistance, and the multiplicity of buisness then
int'rest'd in, which lay wholly on myself.

I hope no person can think me sn supinely stupid as willfully to neglect my own
interest by paying large sums of money out of the RA Hon ble . Comp as . Cash, and not
giving due C r . for the same (when I knew myself answerable for the whole) as
Dollars One Thousand p cl . Cap 4 . George Luke Burrish Command r . of ship Scipio on
account his Charter party omitted to be enterd, thd paid in the presence of the
Council, who all signd the Generall letter sent by her, that it was paid, also One
Thousand Dollars paid M 1 . William Deaue for which Govern". Cross & Hoyle gave
their notes which I now present for yo 1 '. perusall and two hundred Dollars paid
M r . Holmes on his going to Batavia which am ready to depose on oath when
requird.

I also sent my sloop (which the RA Hon ble . Company now has) under the care of
Capt. Thomas Warner with five hundred Doll 13 , to purchase a Cargoe who during his
stay there did what he could, and paid the ball , to M r . Thomas Holmes, who wrote
me that he had ree". the same and had my effects on board the President amo ts . (to
the best of my remembrance) to Dollars two hundred thirty four, but he dying in the
Voyage all was putt into the Companys Godowns to make up his debt to the
Company, amongst which was fifteen q 1 . casks of Arrack bought by Cap'. Warner
and chargd in his acco 1 .

There is also included in that sum I'm brought in indebted to the Company
seven hundred thirty two Dollars on acco'. Salary which I was obligd to reimburse,
tho I rec a . no more then the stated Salary allowd M r . Cross in his Indentures, the
second was also allowd the same and to their Successors, only M r . Cross was allowd
fifty pounds ^ aun. as a Gratuity, which I never ree d . or chargd, thei'efore hope yo r .
Hon 1 . &c a . will please to allow me the same my predecessors had till the Supervizors
arrivall that the place was dependant.

I likewise presented the Supervizor &c a . an aeco'. of some necessary Liquors &c\
us'd and expended for one or two years on the Comp as . acco 1 . the former I understand
have been since disposd of at Outcry & bro'. to acco'. the latter beg you'd please

I have lookd over the papers you deliverd me from M r . Richard Skingle the
purport of which were laid before me when at Bencoolen, but not comply f d with for the
following reasons : —

I did not beleive it reasonable to reimburse him the money said to be paid Cap'.
Burrish on acoo t . Charterparty, there being neither receipt nor entry in the Cash book
concerning it and consequently the Company incapable of recovering it from the
Owners, besides the Scipio's Charterparty money was 1050 Doll 13 , and why the odd
fifty was forgott on both sides I am to learn.

I thought it unaccountable M r Cross should bring out Ten Thousand pound and
receive a supply of six more on the Northumberland, not live above three months, &
yet be necessitated to take up money at 15 ^> Cent Interest, and therefore I was
afraid M r . Deanes bill might have some thing more at bottom.

M r . Holmes might have considerably of M r . Skinglesin his hands, but no papers
appearing after his death, and the whole Cargoe coming farr short of the Companys
principall money laden on board the President, I judg'd it convenient they should be
first satisfy'd, and yet they are 700 Dollars losers by that Voyage.

I did not beleive the Gentlemans good services to the Comp a . deserv'd the Salary
allowd M r . Cross and therefore I reducd it to £ 100 ^ annum.

That the quantity of liquors mentiond in his paper was drank up in so short a
time besides the 17 chests on th« Nathaniel I make no question, but thought the
Comp aB . intentions were to allow their Servants, only wine enough to preserve their
healths not ruine it. I am
